Mustafizur picks up two wickets in Chennai's big win over Gujarat

Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman picked up two wickets for 30 runs in Chennai Super Kings' massive 63-run win against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. 

Mustafizur now has six wickets in the tournament and is currently the purple cap holder.

The left-arm pacer went for 23 runs in his first two overs but came back quite strongly to pick up the wickets of Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia in the next two overs, conceding seven runs only.

The left-arm seamer was superb with the old ball, mostly bowling the off-cutter using his supple wrists. The likes of Kevin Pietersen and Sunil Gavaskar raved about his wrists on air.

Deepak Chahar and Tushar Deshpande picked up two each while impact sub Matheesha Pathirana and part-timer Daryl Mitchell took one each while defending 206.

Earlier, an all-round batting display helped Chennai notch up a huge total of 206-6. Rachin Ravindra continued to excel in his role of a powerplay maximiser as his 20-ball-46 helped the home side get off to a great start.

Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad also scored 46 off 36.

But it was Shivam Dube who put on yet another strong show with the bat. A brilliant spin-hitter, Dube started his innings of 51 off 23 with two maximums off left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore.
